That may be what was intended, but in reality it's mostly an impediment to the system. Asians are probably hurt the most by DEI and that's unfortunate. IMO, smart, qualified people are going to find good jobs in an economy that's thriving, regardless of their race, gender or sexual preference.

@Easy_E @Leah742 @cb_doge DEI is about making sure that merit IS the deciding factor. It’s about ensuring that highly qualified minority candidates don’t get passed over in favor of LESS qualified white/male/whatever candidates due to racism and/or bigotry.

David Rubin served as President of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences from 2019 to 2022. In 2020, under his leadership, the Academy launched the “Representation and Inclusion Standards” for Best Picture eligibility. These rules, still in effect, require films to meet at least 2 of 4 diversity criteria involving race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, or disability in on-screen roles, creative leadership, or crew. Rubin publicly backed the changes and helped appoint the task force co-led by producer DeVon Franklin. He shifted the Oscars from “best movie wins” to race/gender engineering. A film can now be ineligible for the top prize purely for failing demographic quotas, regardless of quality or audience impact. Instead of focusing purely on talent and storytelling, the Academy under Rubin institutionalized identity preferences. Oscars prestige and viewership have tanked. Many see it as performative politics over art. Classics with non-diverse casts would be disqualified. He helped install the DEI machinery that turned awards into checkboxes and accelerated Hollywood’s quality decline.

@Tcrutch14 @Klawler1970 @MLFootball That's possible.

@AB1995780 @Klawler1970 @MLFootball For all we know her husband may be in on it too. They could have an open marriage.

TRENDING: This old video from ex-#NFL insider Dianna Russini posting an apparent THIRST TRAP on her account on Mother’s Day has resurfaced and gone viral on social media. 😳😳😳 This is truly something else — this was before everything went public.

@Klawler1970 @MLFootball She's not ugly, she's somewhat attractive, but her using her marginally attractive looks to advance her professional career make her seem ugly. Trashing her husband in the process was pathetic.

@MLFootball She is so fucking ugly..decent body...and a complete sociopath. What was Vrabel thinking ..Great coach but a moran otherwise

@fufbkgb @MrPool_QQ I hope that's the case. The fear angle to which I was referring had to do with US markets seeing their peak. I don't believe that's the case, but who knows. I'm not sure that bonds will be in a free fall after things settle down in the Strait.

@AB1995780 @MrPool_QQ Yeah he’s probably a stooge but he isn’t promoting fear here… he saying the world will be ruled by three peaceful superpowers

🔻4,000. That's how many soldiers were supposed to land in Poland this week. They never boarded. Pete Hegseth — sitting in Beijing, two seats from Xi Jinping — picked up the phone and cancelled the entire deployment. 4,000 troops. Gone. No warning. No vote. No explanation. The Pentagon found out AFTER the call was made. FROM CHINESE SOIL. Let that satisfying chill run down your spine. The Secretary of Defense dismantled NATO's eastern wall while eating roast duck in the Great Hall of the People. Republican senators are screaming. NATO commanders are panicking. Poland is silent. Germany just lost its deployment too. AND NOT A SINGLE PERSON IN WASHINGTON KNEW IT WAS COMING. You know who knew? The man sitting across the table. Xi knew. Because it was part of the deal. You don't pull 4,000 soldiers from Russia's doorstep while sitting with China's president unless THE NEW MAP HAS ALREADY BEEN DRAWN. Yesterday the DOW touched 50,000. Today Treasury yields broke 5%. Tonight global bonds are in freefall. 50,000 wasn't a celebration. IT WAS THE LAST BREATH OF THE OLD SYSTEM. They're not pulling troops home because the war is over. THEY'RE PULLING TROOPS HOME BECAUSE THE WAR THEY'RE PREPARING FOR ISN'T IN EUROPE. The next 72 hours will make the last 72 look like a rehearsal. ⟁

@teslorsrl @MrPool_QQ I can see that angle, but doubt that US markets have seen their better days, at least I hope that's not the case.

@AB1995780 @MrPool_QQ I think he is referring to peace. Usa will control western hemisphere and China and Russia will control their part. Reason Ukraine war may be ending. Not saying this will happen, but what I think this poster is indicating

@CoinDesk "Hold on a sec, I'm gonna get me a beer."

🎥 Senator Warren gives a warning about passing the Clarity Act:

@last_to_crypto @AltcoinDaily Doubtful. Trump's so called family cash grab is likely aligned with Crypto and not the big banks who de-banked his family during Biden's term. Scrooge McBitcoin sounds like a bonafide US banker.

@AltcoinDaily It will continue to be slow, walked and eventually killed by Trump as he will not agree to stop his family Cash grab. Trump will put his family Personal gain over and Above the growth of crypto You know, what you would expect from the first “crypto president“. 🤣

Did crypto just give into the banks demands to move the market structure bill forward?? Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong on the CLARITY Act: “There’s been a compromise” "We met the asks of the bank lobby and the Senate" “We’re ready to support a markup later this week.”

@libsoftiktok Her anxiety has taken a toll on her skin.

BREAKING UPDATE: Desiree Segari, the Florida woman who called for Trump supporters to be SHOT, has been sentenced to 13 months in prison.

@notaBot4u2c @EricLDaugh Holland's face turned as red as a beet. Pretty safe to say that Kash Patel hit pay dirt.

@EricLDaugh Childish, unhinged, & absolutely beneath the office he’s responsible for. If he can’t even argue in good faith how can he possibly be intellectually competent to run the FBI?

🚨 OMG. FBI Director Kash Patel just went HAYWIRE on lying Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D) who tried smearing him as an alcoholic "The only person slinging MARGARITAS in El Salvador on the taxpayer dollar with a convicted gang banger r*pist WAS YOU!" 🔥 "The only one in this room that has been drinking on the taxpayer dime during the day is YOU!" "I don't know where you GET this stuff. It doesn't make it credible because you say so!" "The only person that ran up a $7,000 bar tab in Washington, DC, and the lobby desk was YOU." "You drink at margaritas with a gang banger, that's actually true and on video!" "This is the ultimate example of HYPOCRISY." "I will not be tarnished by baseless allegations of fraudulent statements from the media." GO OFF, @FBIDirectorKash!

THE CLARITY ACT JUST GOT UPDATED. 309 pages. 9 titles. One goal: end the regulatory gray zone that has haunted crypto for a decade. The Senate amendment splits jurisdiction cleanly. SEC gets securities-like digital assets. CFTC gets the commodity spot markets. DeFi gets its own rulebook. And for the first time, open-source developers get explicit legal protection. Banks can now legally custody crypto. CBDCs are blocked from being used as monetary policy tools. And if your exchange goes bankrupt, your coins are yours, not the creditors'. The era of regulate-by-enforcement is over.

@ginamilan_ I think Kimmel or his butt ugly wife must be writing Pete Davidson's jokes. Davidson should stick to his shagging teachers skits.

This is fucking disgusting.

@joeroganhq I guess she bought thick glasses to shrink her snoz?

Angie Sullivan: "F*ck you JD Vance… Child suffering is a ped*phile ring with elites in this country, including but not limited to Donald Trump, s*x trafficking and r*ping young girls and your administration calls it a hoax and doesn't give a f*ck…"

@secnumbersguy Odds are that Mendoza will have a much better NFL career. Manziel was his own worst enemy, which is a shame. It's too bad NIL was non-existent for Manziel, because he was always going to be a better college player than a pro.

Comparing Johnny Manziel and Fernando Mendoza Total Yards: -Manziel 5,116 -Mendoza 3,811 Passing Yards: -Manziel 3,706 -Mendoza 3,535 Rushing Yards: -Manziel 1,410 -Mendoza 276 Manziel was a true freshman. Mendoza isn’t in the same STRATOSPHERE.

@JAM_I_AM_23 The entire interaction looks stupid to me. Grow the F up and behave like decent people.

😂😂😂

bring it on 🐸

@Weinsteinlaw Horse shit, but typical.

The pattern is unmistakable and repulsive. If you keep calling Black leaders "low IQ," you aren't expressing a political disagreement. You are using a racist dog whistle to undermine their humanity. Every single time Donald Trump uses this slur, he shows the country that his politics are built entirely on grievance and bigotry. It’s a disgrace to the office and a stain on this country.

@joeroganhq Is George wearing blush? And WTF is that outfit he's wearing? It's hard to take that guy seriously.

George Conway: "Donald Trump is a sociopath. Donald Trump is evil. Donald Trump is trying to destroy democracy because he only thinks of himself. These things are all inescapably true."

@stoolpresidente This one was actually hilarious! Laughed my ass off.

Not funny. Offensive. Please delete

The majority of our population had great faith in you during your first campaign and going into your first term, believing that you would be the one that drew people together. You turned out to be anything but a great uniter, proving more to be the supreme divider. Eighteen years later, you haven't changed a bit. No surprise there.

Today’s Supreme Court decision effectively guts a key pillar of the Voting Rights Act, freeing state legislatures to gerrymander legislative districts to systematically dilute and weaken the voting power of racial minorities - so long as they do it under the guise of “partisanship” rather than explicit “racial bias.” And it serves as just one more example of how a majority of the current Court seems intent on abandoning its vital role in ensuring equal participation in our democracy and protecting the rights of minority groups against majority overreach. The good news is that such setbacks can be overcome. But that will only happen if citizens across the country who cherish our democratic ideals continue to mobilize and vote in record numbers - not just in the upcoming midterms or in high profile races, but in every election and every level.
